Our Story
Pillar Science was founded in 2017 by Dr. Karim Bouayad-Gervais and Mathieu Tanguay to deliver modern software solutions that grow holistic, meaningful partnerships between institutions and companies. At Pillar Science, we understand the vital role university–industry partnerships play in workforce recruitment and research development processes; however, we also know that managing these partnerships can be difficult—particularly when resources are limited. Our Partnership Engagement Platform is the only software that enables institutions and companies to connect directly—helping them to streamline collaborations and discover new partnerships opportunities. We match company needs with university expertise and ensure partner satisfaction by continually seeking new opportunities to deepen existing partnerships. Today, Pillar Science has more than 30,000 users in over 4 continents, and we help Fortune 100 companies work with over 100 US-based institutions.
